Vet professional, dog-walker/lover!
Pet care experience
I am a long-time veterinary professional (9 years providing emergency & specialty care) and recently, I have switched over to a more administrative career. I am still actively looking for a way to interact with pups in conjunction with my current position. I'd love to walk/visit with your four-legged family member and give them a much-needed break in the morning, afternoon, and early evening. I have experience with almost every breed of canine, and I feel very confident when it comes to hanging out with even the timidest of pups (I have a very nervous nelly at home). If your pet requires any sort of basic medical care (as directed by a veterinarian) or husbandry, I'm able to provide this for your pet as well.
Reviews
Gabrielle did an outstanding job walking my dog while I was injured. She was able to help out on short notice and was punctual, reliable, and very sweet. My dog adored her and went happily and willingly with her. I am a Rover walker/sitter myself so I am definitely picky about who I choose to care for my baby and read through many profiles. I recently adopted a 70lb dog who is very strong and is working through some issues with kids and men. I was worried about letting another person handle him and was afraid he would pull them down or get loose. Gabrielle's experience with all breeds/sizes was a perfect match and also her experience in the veterinary field since she understands the important of learning each animal's habits/preferences/likes/dislikes. She took my dog to his favorite park near my house and was already familiar with the layout which was a huge plus! She handled him very well and followed all instructions. He loved and trusted her right away and came back very happy :) My dog and I are very active so I was anxious when I suddenly found myself unable to walk him. I'm thankful that I found someone who I can trust to keep him active with his usual walks and put my fears to rest so I can relax and heal. I will definitely ask Gabrielle to help me out with him again in the future and would recommend her to fellow pet parents! Thank you Gabrielle!
Gabrielle was awesome! Very sweet & my westie loves her? Will be booking her again soon, Thanks Gabrielle!!?
Gabby is an outstanding animal friend. On top of her many years as a medical professional in a busy emergency animal hospital, she also genuinely enjoys meeting and spending time with any animals she come across. She has two lovable, although sometimes high maintenance dogs at home that she showers with love. She also takes care of my rescue dog on an almost daily basis while I'm at work, walking him, feeding him and spoiling him rotten. On top of all of that, gabby is also exceptionally organized and reliable. She will make an excellent addition to the Rover team!

I love Bryan and Byrd Park. Bryan is very close to my home but Byrd is an easy drive.
